I was so livid watching that lapper hose the Dunge, but it made the pass that much more Epic.

Jason Anderson's bike took the long way back to the pits.



Some fans arrived by chauffeur while making last minute Fantasy MX picks





Races are an excellent place to make new friends

Races are an excellent place to see old friends again. Great seeing Chris Ganz AKA BDW!



Pourcel enjoying his preferred way of relaxing after the races.



These fans obviously only trained for SX



Rastaman the racer formerly known as Mookie



Will James need a start to run up front with the orange bikes and Trey?

Could NOT be happier for Weston Peick and his father Louie.



It was a nice surprise seeing Tony Berlutti spinning the wrenches on Weston's mount.



Didn't recognize this boot washer dude but he looked familiar.

sick shots.

i've laid off of carmichael for a long time thinking that he should enjoy his retirement but when kenny watson is about to pass you in terms of fitness it might be time to back it down a notch.

And it was cool seeing Mitch here in dad mode.



Ex YoT alumni Dave Feeney. Great guy married to a great lady.

The 2014 Lucas Oil National MX champion.



The fastest man on the planet......at times but definitely not all the time.



Tim Ferry talking with Stefan from MX Heaven. If you have never had the pleasure I encourage you to speak with Stefan. Definitely an enthusiast and definitely one of the most interesting people you will speak to at an event.

Awesome pics! Especially love the format for those of us that aren't in attendance at the races. Makes me feel like I was there for a minute

Damn nice shots, Rock. It's good to see the race from a different perspective.

Did anyone ever say what happened to Anderson's bike? After Shorty and Barcia both lost their chains, I thought that may have happened to Jason, too, but the bike has one in your picture.

RC with my buddy Brian Martin. Brian grew up with and was an unbelievable friend with the Eierstedt brothers as well as to my late friend Phil Alderton. Brian also opened his guest room for me. THANKS BRIAN!



Gary Scott is core to the core. He has endured more to race MX than anyone I know.



Morning cloud cover kept the track perfect and the fans cool for the fans but Mr. Sun finally made an appearance around noon.



I spent the majority of the time viewing from here. The section where Anderson's bike shelled looked TOUGH!



Lord ain't that the truth

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. Much appreciated. I've got some more shots of some trick street bikes and a couple more random shots but have to leave for the new X Men movie. Will post rest ASAP.

Im sure you're ripped though, which makes Ricky's multiple championships, tons of fans and millions of dollars weak in comparison.

Go flex, bro.

Nice shot of "Got Scary" hard at work Laughing I'll never forget his riding tip for my son, "If you know you're going down, just think," "GET SMALL !" Of all the riding tips me and my buddies have given my kid over the years he says that's the one he remembers the most. Good dude right there Cool

sum.dood-That is some epic stuff right there IE Got Scary....can't wait to call him. He sold his KTM350 on Monday and is going to go dual sporting. Too many issues with his body now and the latest is neck stuff. God bless him.

Looks similar to Mike Hodgkinson's machines



If this is at Hangtown and they let old people try it I'm there! Kid was having a blast...as were his parents who were watching and filming.



This has a distinct home brew aroma to it.

Cheers for the pics Rock!

Always dig the 'fan perspective' photos that people post up of the races.

It's laced like that so they can run a tubeless tire.

Almost looks like an electrically powered two wheel drive.

That would be neat.
